Qi Mu originally thought it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac, but he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was so vicious that he wanted to kill the girl if she didn't lose her virginity.
Thinking of this, he quickly lifted the outer robe covering the little girl's head, only to see that the girl's face was flushed and there were traces of blood on her delicate pink lips. Without thinking, he put his hand to her mouth and let her bite it.
Seeing this, Eunuch Deng immediately took the imperial physician and guards out of the room and closed the door.
Qi Mu didn't feel the expected pain of being bitten on his hand, but instead felt a kitten-like licking. He couldn't help but move forward.
When Qi Mu first experienced the cloud, he felt as if he was in the clouds, a dazzling array of colors. The faint fragrance of flowers wafted through his nose, making him more and more addicted to it.
Eunuch Deng looked down at his nose and up at the sky. The warm winter sun gradually set in the west until the sky was filled with morning glow, and the clouds and rain in the house finally stopped.
--
Hearing Qi Mu's lazy and contented voice, Eunuch Deng walked into the room full of spring scenes without changing his expression, carrying the prepared clothes and medicine.
Qi Mu withdrew his hand that was stroking the girl's face with reluctance, and walked out quietly for fear of waking up the girl.
He took Eunuch Deng to the next house.
As soon as Qi Mu sat down, Eunuch Deng continued to report on the investigation he had just conducted.
"Your Majesty, this girl's name is Xiao Danruo, and she has been dependent on her brother since she was young.
When Miss Danruo was in her mother's womb, her biological father, who was the Right Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue of the previous dynasty, died in prison because he was implicated in a major corruption case.
Not long after she was born, her biological mother remarried the Duke of Chu as his second wife. To avoid suspicion, the wife of the Duke of Chu had not had any open contact with Miss Danruo for many years.
So Miss Danruo is now 29 years old and still unmarried.
According to General Zhu, he was riding his horse in a busy city a while ago. In order to avoid a child, he knocked over a vegetable stall and also overturned the veil of a passing girl named Danruo.
He was attracted by her beauty and went to her house to ask her to be his eighteenth concubine after making inquiries.
Miss Danruo refused sternly, preferring to be the wife of a poor family rather than the concubine of a rich family. If she forced herself on him, she would only get a corpse.
The commotion was quite serious at the time, with all the neighbors present. Seeing that someone was about to be forced to death, General Zhu gave up the idea.
Unexpectedly, this time, the wet nurse of Princess Kang's mother, Lady Chu, the Duke of Chu, found General Zhu and hinted that the matter was done and if they had a child, the girl would be relieved.
Then the wet nurse beside the wife of the Duke of Chu bought clothes for Miss Danruo and took her to today's banquet.
And he led Miss Danruo into the room in the name of the Duke of Chu's wife."
Qi Mu twirled the jade ring on his thumb and raised his eyebrows slightly:
"In other words, Danruo's second mother wanted to give the daughter she gave birth to but never raised by her ex-husband to General Zhu. The purpose was naturally to gain more supporters for Prince Kang."
Eunuch Deng sighed inwardly. The emperor was in his prime, and Prince Kang was young and vigorous. If they were royal fathers and sons, they would inevitably harbor resentment. Otherwise, how could there be so many deposed princes?
"Just now, I have arranged for a girl of similar stature to pretend to be Miss Danruo and leave through the back door. General Zhu also pretended that his mission was unsuccessful and resigned.
There was no abnormality on the faces of Prince Kang and Princess Kang. The secret guards would follow up on the movements in Prince Kang's mansion in the next few days.
Another thing is that the Lesser Cold has just passed, and the Beginning of Spring is still a month away.
Today, the peonies and pomegranates in the garden of Prince Kang's mansion are in full bloom. Many people are attending the banquet today, and word has spread that the Princess of Kang is the mother of the nation."
Qi Mu nodded lightly, his expression unremarkable: "Don't worry about the rumors."
He secretly thought that the Princess of Kang County was too famous and her mother was too cruel. If Prince Kang became the heir, the in-laws would definitely interfere in the government.
Eunuch Deng thought to himself that the flowers today were clearly blooming because of the emperor. It must be the emperor's true dragon aura that shocked all the flowers, causing the flower fairies to bow down before the emperor's divine power.
So this is what facilitated this good thing for Miss Danruo. Thinking of this, "Your Majesty, which palace will Miss Danruo be arranged in after entering the palace?"
In fact, he was asking about his status. There was no queen in the harem, and Qi Mu had married when he was 20 years old and still a general.
However, when Qi Mu was 23 years old and was forced to rebel against the previous dynasty, his wife Wang's maternal family was detained by the previous dynasty. In order to save her maternal family, Wang planned to kill her husband, but Qi Mu discovered her and killed her in return.
After Qi Mu ascended the throne, he never appointed a queen, and the daughters sent by ministers were all given very low positions. Miss Danruo had no connection with her mother's family, which might be a relief for the emperor. In addition, the girl who had just served in the emperor's bedchamber was definitely the emperor's favorite in all these years, so Eunuch Deng was a little unsure about her position.
Qi Mu recalled the passionate feeling just now, and felt that his heart, which had been quiet for a long time, slowly became lively again.
Qi Mu undoubtedly liked this little girl who had suddenly appeared in his life for just half a day.
After learning about her past experiences, I felt a little more pity for her. The struggles in the harem have always been dangerous, and the little girl has no family background. While I am alive, I can pamper her for a while, but what if I am gone?
Another thing is that the girl has a strong temper. She would rather be the wife of a poor family than a concubine of a rich family. She would rather be a concubine than a concubine in the palace.
What's more, I can't give her a child.
I originally covered the little girl's face because I was afraid that if others saw her face, it would have a bad impact on her reputation. Now I think my original intention has been fulfilled.
I tried hard to suppress the reluctance in my heart, and just protected her silently, letting her live a peaceful and happy life.
Having made up his mind, Qi Mu immediately ordered Eunuch Deng to do it:
"Miss Danruo was instrumental in saving the Queen Mother at Lingshan Temple half a month ago. I will return to the palace to inform the Queen Mother and grant her the title of First Rank Princess and the salary of a Princess.
